1 To grill the figs - preheat a grill or hot plate then halve the figs and grill for 3 minutes.

2 Drizzle the figs with honey and melted butter then set aside.

3 To make the cheesecake; mix the crumbs, sugar and butter together. Press the mix into a pre-greased spring form tin. Chill.

4 Preheat the oven to 170C. Beat the lemon zest with the eggs, sugar,cream cheese, mascarpone and vanilla then spoon the filling into the crumb base.
